Looking for support to get more experience in the sector, figure out how to work with artists or design a creative health programme? We've got you covered.
Note: We’re a project funded organisation that has no salaried staff. We work as freelancers, with freelancers. Sometimes we have free services that we have fundraised for. Below are services that we charge for - because we believe in valuing people’s time and knowledge and have business costs and fees that people must receive for their work.

Programme Design & Curation
We’ve been commissioned by organisations of all sizes and across different sectors to deliver engaging, innovative and creative workshops that focus on health and wellbeing. We excel in curating excellent events.
We have experience in programming a diverse range of creative activities that range from focusing on NHS staff wellbeing to organising large scale conferences, small one off sessions and themed training programmes. We tap into our extensive networks of artists and partners to put together fantastic high quality events.
We’re adept at understanding the motivations and language of both the health and cultural sector, meaning that we understand different stakeholder motivations, how to design realistic and achievable events, all whilst considering who are the right people to deliver these activities.
If you’d like to commission us to help bring your event(s) or programme(s) to life, please get in touch to discuss possibilities and costs.
Access Support for Writing Funding Applications
Two of our Directors, Daniel Regan & Mariama Attah, offer access support with funding applications to artists exploring health & wellbeing in their practice and that face barriers to application processes.
If you find submitting applications to funders inaccessible for reasons related to your disability, health challenges and neurodivergence, we may be able to support you to develop your ideas, input your responses into the right format and submit your funding applications.
Some funders, like Arts Council England, offer funding to access support workers for artists who struggle with the application process. This means that Arts Council England will pay an access support worker to work with you if you find Arts Council England’s application process inaccessible, regardless of the outcome of your application. Where other funders do not have budget for access support we are able to offer the same services but at a cost to cover our fees.
